Student Guard - Helping Parents Keep Their Children Safe From Cyber Bullies Today, bullying has assumed a new avatar in the embodiment of cyber bullying. Gone are the days when a teenager who was pushed around in a locker room found solace in the shelter of his own home. No more. Now bullying has expanded beyond the realms of playgrounds, schools, and amusement parks into the safe haven of homes. Even in their bedrooms and in the personal spaces of their perceptibly secure online social networking sites, teenagers are bombarded with threats, abuses, and insults on their profiles, or on their hacked email ids.

One of the biggest reasons being an organized mom is so hard is that moms have... kids. And kids have... toys. Everybody knows about kids and toys: They love them and the number of them is always growing and... they have to be stored. Here are a few quick ideas on toy storage that will make at least this aspect of being an organized mom a little easier.Since space is almost always limited and since the number of toys your child has seems to be infinite, you may need to be little creative about where and how you store toys. Fortunately, there are lots of options available on the market today.The first and most obvious option is the traditional toy box or toy chest. These come in different colors, themes, and shapes and are great as decorative elements in a room as well as for storage and even extra seating. Features to consider in a toy chest - and in all toy storage - include sturdiness, ease of cleaning, ease of use (e.g., Can your child lift the lid by himself?), and safety (e.g., Does the lid have safety hinges to prevent it from slamming...more
